Pretty much constant but sometimes intermittant problem of the camera fe-210 screen goes black. all functions appear to be normal but it does not see through the lens. So everything is black on the pictures taken. It's like the opening is shut. Sometimes it will work when first turned on for one or maybe two exposures. then it goes black and may stay that way even if turned on and off or changing any of the settings.

Kodak EasyShare C340 Digital Camera

Camera keeps loosing the time and date settings. When turning the camera on the lens does not open, then a screen asking to set the date and time settings appears - once date reset the camera works properly. Unfortunately this seems to happen almost everytime the camera is turned off.

The problem is the internal battery that powers the storage of time and date. If the camera is unused for a while, it will discharge. You must put a freshly charge battery into the camera and leave it with the power turned off for 24 hours to charge ...

After inserting the battery back in the camera, the camera become stuck in a loop. The camera turns on but the screen stays black with only the words "access" appearing on it. Then the lens keeps adjusting itself and after a minute it says to turn the power off and on again. So I did that and it does not work.

Canon SD4000 camera, when hitting the power button, the screen remains black screen, the green light blinks twice, lens zooms out, shutter opens. Screen remains black, and I do not seem to have any control at all; pressing the zoom button doesn't move lens, no notable reaction to anything. Hit the power button again, the lens zooms back into it's original position, shutter closes (occasionally does not shut completely), green light blinks twice, screen remains black. Tried turning on w/o SD card

I have a Carl Zeiss Optical 3x Sony Cybershot. When I flip it open to turn it on, the image is either moving with horizontal lines, or blurred vertically (image looks like it's melting). The photo images come out as they appear on the camera screen. Sometimes the image will appear clear and normal on the camera screen when I flip it open. The camera hasn't been in intense heat or cold.
